Yes, she's sick. Jiang Wanqing thought so too, and even thought Su Su was crazy. She wondered, if there wasn't a deep-seated hatred, who would go to such lengths to harm someone they didn't even know?
“I want you to help me investigate something.” She looked into his eyes.
"you say."
Cheng Ran immediately agreed. As long as it was her business, it was related to him. Even if she didn't say anything, as long as he knew, he would help without hesitation.
She took a slight breath: "Help me investigate Jiang Xiu, see if she's alive or dead."
If she is still alive, then Su Su has nothing to do with her. If she is dead, perhaps it is indeed possible that she could be resurrected through another's body, just as the speculation suggests.
He looked slightly surprised, but quickly recovered, nodded, and took her hand.
“Okay, I’ll check.” He pulled her down to sit. “You rest for a while, I’ll go cook. Your factory is opening in a day, so save your energy.”
"All right."
Jiang Wanqing readily agreed. She really needed to clear her head; the opening ceremony absolutely could not have any unexpected incidents!
Because Du Heng was summoned for questioning, Cheng Ran immediately spread the news, causing the slander at the wedding to suddenly turn into two opposing views, and the situation to reverse somewhat.
However, the Du family was still capable, and Du Heng had also suffered a lot of injuries. In the end, he was sentenced to half a month of detention, which was not a big deal. But for Jiang Wanqing, it was enough to get the business opening done.
However... the night before the opening ceremony, Yang Chang rushed to Jiang Wanqing's residence in a disheveled and anxious state. It was late at night, and the loud knocking immediately woke the couple up.
"Comrade Jiang...open the door! I have something important to tell you!"
Jiang Wanqing rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed. Cheng Ran also woke up.
She casually picked up her coat and put it on. Just as she was about to get out of bed, Cheng Ran pressed her hand down.
“It’s Yang Chang’s voice,” she said.
"I can tell. You go to sleep, I'll go open the door."
Cheng Ran just didn't want her to go through all that trouble. It was windy outside, and she might catch a cold. He quickly put on his shoes, opened the door, and went outside. A little while later, Yang Chang followed him in.
It was late at night, but Yang Chang was covered in sweat, as if he had just run several kilometers.
"Comrade Jiang... I've finally seen you... Something... Something's happened..."
Yang Chang was so anxious that he was panting heavily and couldn't speak a complete sentence. Cheng Ran brought him a stool to sit on and then poured him some water.
"Have some water first, and tell me what happened slowly."
"Thank you..." He didn't forget to thank them before drinking the water, and finally came to his senses. "Comrade Jiang, it's so late, I wouldn't bother you unless it was something extremely important."
"I know, just tell me what's wrong, what happened?"
"It's in southern Xinjiang... They intercepted people who were supposed to cooperate with us."
"What?"
Jiang Wanqing raised her voice in surprise. Du Heng had already gone in, how could there still be someone so blind?
"It's true. Su Su has launched several new products and is even offering discounts to her partners. Moreover... those new products overlap with what you were planning to launch, and there are even some that you haven't launched yet. In short, she has a huge advantage. I received more than a dozen calls last night canceling our cooperation, and I'm afraid our opening tomorrow will be delayed..."
He didn't continue, but Jiang Wanqing could guess what he was going to say next. Finding partners wasn't about feelings, but about interests. Now that she had lost her advantage, she probably wouldn't have anyone to support her opening tomorrow. Her channels for cooperation were blocked, and she couldn't get her goods out, so it would all be for nothing.
Her expression turned serious. No wonder Yang Chang suddenly rushed over. This matter was indeed very important. Su Su acted quite quickly. She probably had prepared this move long ago, which is why she said those words yesterday.
"Is there anything I can do?" Cheng Ran asked, taking Jiang Wanqing's hand.
If needed, he wouldn't mind tripping up Jiangnan and Duheng in some ways.
Her eyes flickered. Putting pressure on Su Su from the relevant departments might be a good idea, but that guy had probably already thought of that. If she really did that, she might fall into a trap, since abusing her power was a serious crime...
She let go of Cheng Ran's hand, turned her back, and knew that what she needed most now was to stay calm and not panic.
"Comrade Jiang, how about we postpone the opening date?" Yang Chang asked tentatively.
“No…we can’t move it any further!” Jiang Wanqing immediately rejected his suggestion. “Let me think about it again.”
The wind blew in through the window, and Yang Chang broke out in a cold sweat. He was extremely anxious. What time was it to be thinking about this? To put it bluntly, there was less than a day left before the opening. Even if he was the smartest, he probably couldn't come up with a solution in such a short time.
Yang Chang was about to say something when Cheng Ran glared at him, and he immediately fell silent in fear.
About five minutes later, Jiang Wanqing's eyes lit up, and she immediately turned around.
"I've got it!"
"What are you thinking about?" Cheng Ran looked at her with a hint of surprise and pride in his eyes.
"Yang Chang, I need you to do me a favor. You might have to work hard tonight."
"What's up?"
"I can't explain it clearly right now. Wait a moment, I'll write it down, and you can do it one by one."
Jiang Wanqing sat down at the table, took a few sheets of paper, and began to write. Her handwriting was flamboyant, and she wrote very quickly. Cheng Ran and Yang Chang watched her from both sides. The more she wrote, the more surprised they became.
"My God... As expected of Comrade Jiang, he even thought of such a method. I was worried too early..." Yang Chang muttered to himself.
What was written on the paper wasn't what he thought—continuing to oppose Su Su, giving concessions to partners, and squeezing his own profits—but rather…
After Jiang Wanqing finished writing, she stood up, folded the paper, and handed it to Yang Chang.
"Here, go and get it done. Instead of trying to win over partners, it's better to target real consumers. Fortunately, this time we're producing civilian-use products..."
"Okay." Yang Chang took the papers with trembling hands, feeling their weight.
He was glad he hadn't chosen the wrong path. If he had gone against someone like Jiang Wanqing, he would have collapsed in three months, let alone three.
"So our opening event will continue tomorrow morning, right?"
"Yes, go ahead and do it. I can't guarantee that Su Su will fail, I can only guarantee that we won't lose."
Time was of the essence, and to have accomplished this much was already genius-level. Yang Chang swallowed hard and nodded.
"I know, I'll get on it right away." He said and immediately ran out.
There would be no sleep tonight, but Yang Chang was happy to accept it. After he left, Cheng Ran put his arm around Jiang Wanqing's shoulder, his tone full of admiration and pride.
He kissed her neck and said, "It's my greatest blessing to have married you in this life. Sometimes I really want to crawl into your head and see if your brain is different from ours. Otherwise, how would you come up with one ingenious idea after another, hmm?"
She nudged his head: "Don't get too excited yet. Whether it works out or not, we'll have to see tomorrow morning..."
